Freeze-In

About This Movie

So, Freeze-In is this quirky little sales training short from 1969, and it's styled after the vibrant energy of Laugh-In. It’s a blend of comedy and marketing that really leans into the absurdity of the period—think quick gags and playful banter, all centered around Kenmore freezers. The pacing is zippy, which keeps the viewer engaged, and there's a kind of charm in how they attempt to sell a freezer through humor, which feels a tad naive today yet oddly refreshing. The performances are over-the-top but in a way that captures the spirit of the time, making it oddly entertaining for collectors who appreciate the intersection of commercialism and comedy. Just a fun piece of ephemera for anyone interested in the history of advertising in media.

Freeze-In is a rare find, especially for collectors focused on commercial film from the mid-20th century. This short, produced for Kenmore, often flies under the radar as it straddles the line between advertising and entertainment. It's not widely circulated, which gives it a certain allure for those keen on quirky marketing materials. The 16mm format is characteristic of the time, and it captures an era in a way that modern viewers might find both nostalgic and curious.
